AnyBody is committed to encouraging a change in cultural attitudes towards bodies, food and eating so that women and children of the next generation can learn to be happy in and look after their bodies. We challenge the distorted and tyrannical grip that the fashion and diet industry have on the health of our mind as well as our bodies. We ask the government to take an honest look at what influences individuals' health behaviour and to support realistic programmes to bring about change to tackle issues such as obesity. We also encourage individuals to learn to celebrate and cherish the bodies they are in. AnyBody calls for a reality check, of which every and any body can be a part.

Who Are We ?

AnyBody is a group of women and men from psychotherapy, media, fashion, law, art, research and academia, which was founded as a not-for-profit limited company in 2003.

What is the problem?

How are we going to bring about change?

AnyBody Ltd works in synergy with related champion initiatives and organisations, encouraging ‘joined-up thinking’ in political and commercial environments.

This ranges from taking part and organising parliamentary committees, forums and public conferences to introducing new research and advertising initiatives.

AnyBody confronts and challenges those organisations and industries that profit from exploiting body distress. We seek to stop the deadly messages currently delivered to children, to young women and to parents.

AnyBody coordinates: in-house education, advertising and consultation for (and in some cases, prosecution of) responsible organisations; public awareness-raising; and tailored support for vulnerable recipients of these messages, such as young mothers and obese children.

AnyBody’s projects range from awareness-raising and educating to political advising.
